It should be undeleted, Scott. Unless I misunderstood, that would be in accordance with Francois's guidelines.

The question was deleted last month. Do people think it should stay that way? It is not particularly highly voted as a question (15), but there is an answer with 71 up-votes.

Yes, I think it should be closed now. I'll put in a vote in a moment...

The question http://mathoverflow.net/questions/3951/memorizing-theorems, which, in its entirety, consists of "I always have trouble memorizing theorems. Does anybody have any good tips?" has been seeing renewed activity recently. Should it just be closed as "No longer relevant"? Martin Brandenburg makes a good case that it's outlived its purpose.

(This should not be counted as a vote for closure as I don't have the necessary rep.)
